I called it his constipated look lol. He seems to have gotten typecasted into playing characters that are always…
Its the lips. He lifts it exactly 45 degree angle. Not higher. Not lower. Not straigjt. Lips closed. Corner of lips tilted up at 45 angles orecisely. It doesn't matter if he is happy. Or sad. Or angry. Or being stoic or determined. Or frightened. Its the mouth. I am deciding if his eyes can emote. I am enjoying this drama quite a lot and am on ep 21.
It's not terrible and bad. ML&FL don't have a spark, they're just cute together. So if you've time, give it a…
As long as she can act it's fine. This doesn't look like the sort of dramas for hot kisses anyway. I happen to like the other supporting characters or rather the actors for the supporting characters.
I am so happy you're ending this week. For some insane reason I actually didn't drop this drama although I normally would.
Some writers just write draggy and wasted potential dramas. Like this drama's writer. I am never going to go near her works again. Her last ones was as bad.
I am looking forward to 3 Cdramas in a row. Go back lover, the Rise of Ning and Princess Royal. Then Under a Queen's Umbrella and A Virtuous business.
Please note that there IS a plot and characters worth remembering and actually having some sort of logic for their actions for those 5 mentioned above.
Dear Hyeri is such a badly writen mental health drama that it doesn't even qualify as a mental health drama. Its so shallow and also mismanaged.
Thats because the writer didn't spent time developing the psychiatrist character.DID in itself is a complex diagnosis.…
I've pretty much given up on this drama but because its only 12 episodes its easier to finish. I haven't liked SHS last few dramas,although I like her acting. Lee Jin Wook? Given up on him too although he was in one drama I liked. Long long ago.
She is dealing with DID and how come psychologists didn't tell her for once that to heal your wounds which makes…
Thats because the writer didn't spent time developing the psychiatrist character.
DID in itself is a complex diagnosis. The actress looks young and anyone her age who has the confidence to do this diagnosis and think she can manage this herself is delusional. You need a senior doctor to case manage EH. The sessions itself were laughable.
The writer went with this plot and thought it was more ratings- worthy to only do it with the 3 main actors plus 1 minor character.
Even I notice how much scene time was devoted to the main leads. I have no idea what was going through the writer's mind.
as someone who has never written anything here.....i must say this drama had a huge imapct on my mental health.....bcz…
I think the terms toxic and abusive relationship says it all.
There have been some short Cdramas that popped up on my YT newsfeed. The FL are slapped, abused and assaulted. And I remember being appalled this was being filmed.
Then there is this drama. An 8 year relationship and all its glory. I say that because the episode 1 introduction was highly disturbing. Their relationship wasn't normal.
And then we have ep 10.
Wowzer.
I am going to have to watch another drama to scrub my brain after this ends. Just to make sure I don't recall this.
I am very disappointed with today's ep. what a waste of time
Yes well that's why I decided to stop at ep 8 last week and watch ep 9-12 at once next week. Save myself some angst.
I like the cast. I really do but the story is heavy. Its not a good heavy topic hut a shit- laden pile of rotting carcass from bad writing.
Korean dramas can have improbable and outlandish plots but it can be saved by good writing. I remember one drama which had a medical condition. It was rare and outlandish but the writing wasn't that bad. I think it was " Dr John." Its not my favourite drama; neither was it memorable. However it was ok because the writing was acceptable and the acting so good.
Here? The main FL is good. The 2 male leads who can act are acting but they are bland. The chief is good. Yeah. Thats about it.
3 episodes left. I hope Eun Ho will be cured from her illness and then all of her memories together with Hyeri…
All mental health issues are concerning. However no mental health issues I know of has been cured within a short period of time.
Her character has DID but both male characters have abandonment issues and all 3 have complex MH issues.
Personally, i think the writer bit off more than she could chew by writing such complicated issues. Quite badly.
For the sake of the Koren audience I hope they write a realistic ending in which nothing is resolved for all 3 of them. The best I can hope is that they find a good psychiatrist each. The casting director could have hired an older actress. Having that fresh faced junior doctor faced actress just makes this drama even more a farce.
I am still watching because of the cast. Not because of the writing.
AYTO had some slopy writing(plotting mainly), but the performances by the actors were top tier. I think you should…
O m g. Really? Thanks for the heads up. I am on ep 39. Might give it a few days before starting this so my memories are intact for each drama. I binged watched You are my friend lover then went back to Are you the one? So didn't want to spoil my streck of watchable drama. I might go do some work related reading then so I have a drama break. The Rise of Ning doesn't seem to frustrate you guys so that's promising.
I am finishing off ep 17- 40 Are you the one? With Zhang Wan Yi. He looks exactly the same here as in the other drama.
Should I start watching it now or wait till it almost ends? How's the writing? I have no qualms about the acting. The cast can act. I just didn't want sloppy or lazy or nonsensical writing?
I was a bit frustrated watching " Are you the one? " however seem to be enjoying it from ep 17- 40 when I can see the flow of the story. So wondering if The rise of Ning is well written etc.? After all its finished ep 20.
Ok so I hear the people who were like Hyeri developed DID in the four years after her break up with Wet bread…
That would be an American movie.
This is how it rolls in Kdramas. If its nonsensical, lack sympathy, reused trope, emotionally damaging, has lack of communication and secrets? Then yeah its a Kdrama. Add on more violence from parents? And blame? So much blame? Add that to a Cdrama
They have been in a relationship and lived together for 8 years, while 2ML not even half a year. Can you think…
Eh? He didn't communicate and kept secrets. Brutal break up.
All standard behaviours from real life pricks. However ifs not s criminal offence. They are emotionally dysfunctional yes but he did no crime. He shouldn't have done what he did but his emotions got in the way of his resolutions to look after the women by himself. I am not saying its right but people do it in real life. Don't give the partner an option.

He has the same smile in Are you the one? He's supposed to be a good actor?
I mean if its terrible and bad writing.⁴
Thanks.
Addit- thanks. Will start. I happen to like his last drama and only just finished it last week.
